EARLY AMERICAN CLASSICS FOR BANJO by Rob MacKillop: Book/CD set. Discover the birth of the American fingerstyle banjo in this collection of 28 tunes culled from banjo publications between 1860 and 1887. Includes many of the early leading players: James Buckley, Albert Baur, and the great Frank B. Converse. From folk-style dances to parlor dances, to advanced Romantic-period classical-style solos. Can be played on modern banjos or period-style instruments. The CD features a gut-strung banjo, and is played with the flesh of the fingertips, in the old American tuning. For modern players, Rob has provided TAB and a Standard Notation stave at modern banjo pitch. Clawhammer players will find many of the pieces in the book suitable for their technique, and bluegrass/fingerstyle players will be able to play all the pieces. Rob's fascinating introductory essay, places the music in historical context. All by a leading player in the revival of this great American banjo heritage. Beginning/intermediate. 60 pp.
